SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,623, dated February20, 1883.

Application filed November 17, 1882. (No model.) l

To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, EDWIN BARTON, of Paterson,in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a newand useful Improvement in Machines for Winding Oops, Quills, Bobbins,Src., of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to machines made use of for winding cops, quills,or bobbins, and

1o more particularly to that class shown and described in my applicationfor Letters Patent tiled October 13, 1882, and the serial number ot'which is 74,194; and the object of the invention is to provide averysimple means I5 whereby the spindles will be automatically stopped whenthe cop, quill, or bobbin is tinished.

The invention consists in the combination, with a hollow stationarybolster or sleeve and a 2o whirl capable of rotating thereon, of aspindle adapted to slide through the bolster or sleeve and whirl, butfitting the whirl with a square or otherwise, so as to be rotatedtherewith, and mechanism for acting directly upon the spindle to raisethe latter. As the cop, quill, or bobbin is built up the spindle israised until it or its square or equivalent portion is raised above thewhirl, whereupon the rotation ceases, and the cop, quill, or bobbin isiinished.

The invention also consists in the combination, with the above-describedbolster or sleeve, whirl, and spindle, of a push or step piu capable ofsliding within the bolster or sleeve, and

' upon which the spindle is supported, and

' mechanism for raising the said pin and with it the spindle which itsupports. The means employed to raise the push or step pin may consistot' a shaft and a cam having a frictional engagement therewith, and uponthe 4o periphery of which the said pin rests, and which is provided witha stop adapted to come in contact with said pin, and thus terminate themovement of the cam, while the shaft continues its rotation unchecked,which it is free to do by reason of the frictional engagement of thecani with it. In the accompanying drawings,Figurel represents asectional elevation of such parts of a quilling-machine as are necessaryto illustrate 5o my invention, the spindle being shown in its lowestposition; and Fig.2 represents a partlysectional elevation thereof, thespindle being shown as raised entirely out of the whirl.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in bothfigures.

A designates the bolster-rail, and B the spiudie-rail, of the machine.

O designates the spindle, on which is placed the cop, quill, or bobbinD, which is wound in conical layers, commencing at the upper end. 6o

E designates the whirl, around which'the driving-band is placed, andwhich fits outside of or over a sleeve or bolster, l?, which is securedin the rail A, as here shown, by a nut,

c, and which is prolonged considerably below the said rail. Vhenthewhirl is thus mounted the pull of the driving-band has no tendency tobend the spindle. The lower end of the spindle O is shown as square andtits in a hole ot' corresponding shape in the whirl E. Oon- 70 sequentlythe spindle is caused to turn with the whirl, although it may slidefreely up and down in the wh rl. The sleeve or bolster F is bored outsufficiently large so that the spindle may both turn therein and slidefreely up and down.

In the sleeve or bolster F is a push-pin or step-pin, Gr, which iscapable of sliding freely therein, and upon the upper end ot' which thelower end ofthe spindle O rests, the pin being 8O here shown as pointedat its upper end, which slightly enters the end ofthe spindle, andthereby maintains the spindle and pin inline.

H designates a shaft arranged below the row of spindles, and havinglsecured upon ita snail-cam, I, on the periphery ot' which the push orstep pin G rests. The cam has a frictional engagement ,with its shaft.As here shown, it is provided with a socket, I', wherein may be placed apiece or pad, S, ot' leather 9o or other suitable material, which isforced against the shaft with the desired pressure by a screw, I2, asshown in Fig. 2. Such a tleym of friction device is well known. The camI is provided at its point of greatest projection with a lip, b, whichis adapted to come in contact with the pin Gr as the cam rotates. Whenthe cop, quill, or bobbin D is commenced the spindle is in its lowestposition, as shown in Fig. 1, with the pi-n Gr resting on the part ofthe roo periphery ofthe cam which is of least projection. As the conicallayers ofthe cop, quill, or

bobbin are wound the push-pin G and its superposed spindle C are raisedby the step-by-step rotation of the shaft H and cam I until the cop,quill, or bobbin is finished, at which time the spindle is raisedentirely clear of the whirl,

as shown in Fig. 2, and its rotation ceases. The lip or stop b thereuponcomes in contact with the pin G and the motion of the cam I is arrested,while the shaft H continues to advance to. raise the other spindles of'the machine. After the finished cop, quill, or bobbin has been takenoli' and a new one subst tnted on the spindle the cam I is turned backby hand to the position shown inFig.1, wherebythe spindle is allowed tofall into the whirl, whereupon it will be rotated, as before described.

In lieu of the spindle and the hole in the whirl being square, theymight be of' any other form which would insure the spindle rotating withthe Whirl.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with a hollow stationary bolster or sleeve and awhirl capable of rotating thereon, of the spindle adapted to slidethrough the bolster or sleeve and the Whirl, but fitted to the whirl, soas to be rotated therewith, and mechanism for acting directly upon thespindle to raise it through the whirl, substantially as and for thepurpose herein de,- scribed.

2. The combination, with a hollow stationary bolster or sleeve and awhirl capable of rotating thereon, of a spindle adapted to slide throughthe bolster or sleeve and the whirl, but fitted to the whirl, so as tobe rotated therewith, a push or step pin on which the spindle lissupported and which slides in the bolster or sleeve, and mechanism forraising the push or step pin and its superposed spindle, substantiallyas and for the purpose herein described.

3. The combination ofthe sliding spindle C, the whirl E, the stationaryhollow bolster or sleeve -F, the sliding push or step pin G, the shaftH, and the cam I, having` a frictional engagement therewith,substantially as herein described.

4. The combination of the sliding spindle C, the whirl E, the stationaryhollow bolster or sleeve F, the sliding push or step piu G, the shaft H,and the cam I, having frictional engagement with said shaft, and alsohavin, r the stop b forcoming in Contact with said pin to arrest thecam, substantially as herein described.
